Do you insert yourself as a part if their story line or insert yourself as a character in the story?
For example say I was imagining my self as some super badass who helped Ryuuko fight the E4 or something.

More like we exist together on a spiritual plane that trancends all universes. I don't teally think of myself as doing romamtic things with her, I'm more spiritual about it. I imagine our souls being together forever in love, like two strands of Atman wound around each other.

>>100633461
At many times, self-inserting as the MC is easy, though I mostly imagine myself as a separate character in the story, getting along with her while master of romance is off pursuing a different girl.

>>100633951
Its interesting to observe people's ways of imaging.
your fastasy seems to be an ongoing thing where your waifu
is intertwined to your everyday life while
others may only interact with their wafu though sessions of fastasizing.

I know I'll probably get shit on for this, but has anyone here ever 'broken up' with their waifu? I kind of have a year or so ago. She just stopped being as important to me, I eventually deleted my folder with all of my pictures of her because it was taking up too much space on my hard drive and I sort of just stopped thinking of her.
I no longer feel the emotional attachment I used to whenever I think about her so I guess she isn't really my waifu anymore.

If it comes down to it, the only time I've ever imagined it, it's just been in sort of pocket space or whatever. Just me and her doing something and only relevant things are around. That kind of thing.

>>100634646
The problem with that is that not everyone gets married but they do have a long lasting relationship. Marriage doesn't really make a difference anyway.
Having a waifu is different for everyone.

It's like some melange of my life and her's. Example: We're together in my apartment, but her friends are here and whatnot. So I guess the 2D world for the most part.

>>100633461
I can self-insert into Tomoya's role pretty easily, but my take on it is that I replace him in one of the other routes. As an example: He goes through Nagisa's route and I replace his role in Kotomi's.

>>100634479
With? Mostly just fantasize about things. For is a whole other ball game, though with helps with that for the writing and exercise at least.

>>100634440
Nah, you can fit in with /a/ just fine even if you don't have a real waifu. I participate in waifu-related threads all the time, and I just picture whichever girl I feel like at that moment in time.

You can participate in thought experiments without becoming delusional yourself after all.

>>100634699
this, i grew up in the American Educational system so 2/3ds of my day were day dreaming. the shit i think about range from normal slice of life stuff to being augmented and saving my waifu from FEMA or the UN because i played deus ex an hour ago.

>>100635463
They are. It's not like you're interested in animation, history of animation, techniques and so on. You just care about your virtual girlfriend. Like I said, it's pathetic, but honestly, anime is a pretty awful medium. It panders to mentally immature adults and rarely tells genuine stories.

>>100635436>>100635567The night when I had oral surgery yesterday, I had a strange dream after a series of random dreams. I felt that I was back in bed, but I couldn't move. I looked to see what was in front of me, Kurumi randomly appeared out of nowhere. She was on top of me telling me how she found me to be delicious. And that she's driven mad by the desire to taste me. She licked her lips and remarked that my blood tastes delicious. I have no idea what's going on at the time. She then told me how much my mouth tastes delicious and how she craves my blood. She then said that she'll always be in my dreams, whether I can sense her or not. She somehow expects to taste me again and how much she wants me to scream in agony. I woke up and kept tasting blood in my mouth and smelling something that reminded me constantly of Kurumi. It's driving me insane in so many ways. I don't want to see her end up becoming worse than she is, especially since she's from an ongoing LN and is pretty much an anti-villainous heroine. It feels so strange yet I feel drawn to her.

It's sad because I know of people who have waifus and almost never dream of them at all.

>>100633461
No, because I wouldn't survive in her world.>>100634386
If you break up with your waifu, she wasn't your waifu at all.>>100634479
Wish you could buy all the things related to them and wish they were real>>100635334
Yeah, Lewd ones

>>100635729
While that's actually really, REALLY hot blood fetish, does she act like that in her source? I haven't read nor watched it yet, but does she "crave blood" or anything of the sort?

This kind of gives me an idea: what do you guys think of your waifu's source? I enjoyed OreImo but I thought it could definitely be better at some points, plus it cut out some important stuff from the LNs.

I either imagine myself NTRing her from Mahiro(Not a fan of NTR but fuck him) or myself taking Mahrio's position. Still more of a fan of myself taking Mahiro's position as he is actually in the position to have a fabulous life, that and the fact that it removes him from that fantasy.

I imagine, or self insert, myself into the universe as a side character that's never mentioned or given screentime. I'm a spectator. I'm the one that gives that one good piece of advice and then is never heard from again.

I imagine her in a unique, impossible landscape that I've crafted in my mind. I think of this place and her to introspect where she and I have conversations. Sometimes she'll just listen to me. Other times, when I just need to relax, we'll lay under a tree that's always withered, and I'll focus on the contrast of how warm she is against the cold, unmelting snow that paints the plains around us and mountains in the background.

Somehow, no matter what we talk about, she always knows what to say. She'll joke about it, actually. "I'm not real, anon. I'm just in your head." She thoughtfully exposits.
I always tell her, "That's ok. I love you for who you are."

>>100636975
Age means nothing to me. It's just a number.>>100635334
Too many that I can't remember most of them.>>100634386
What kind of monster deletes their waifu folder? How can she take up "too much" space on your hard drive? Why not buy more space for her? God fucking dammit.>>100634479
Love.>>100637269
Here ya go.

>>100635941
I make up my own worlds with different powers or forces existing in them to do the same thing.
Works amazingly well to distract me during walks with music playing.

>>100637914
I work it based on when the series started.
For example, I might be wrong, but I determined Haganai to have started in 2009, meaning Rika would be 19 or 20 currently.
I'd know for sure if I had an actual date...

>>100632570
I'd prefer a different universe, where shit doesn't go as bad as on her original one.>>100634479
Talk to her, I guess. Even if she can't answer.>>100636975
Even if she was real, she wouldn't age. Comes with the territory.>>100637269

>>100632570
I feel her next to me almost all the time. No one else can see her in my thoughts.

>>100634479
Cuddling, kissing, cuddling more, hugging, talking, loving each other. I actually almost started to cry as I wrote this since I realized how happy I am.

>>100635334
Often. I usually don't remember them but I feel like I had a dream about her. Sometimes I remember them though and it feels awesome.

>>100636975
It doesn't really make me feel anything. She is 17 in my thoughts. I don't know why, but I see her as she were 17 years old.

>>100637269
I still don't have a picture of her wearing a wedding dress so I just post this same picture I did before. I wouldn't mind her wearing this outfit in the wedding ceremony though if she wanted to. It looks beautiful.

>>100639961>You will never wake up early and, as quietly as you can, sneak out of bed to make her breakfast>Feeling a soft comfort in your chest every time you peek at her sleeping face>You will never wake her up and see her smile when she sees you>Sleepy and somewhat unaware, she'll eat the food you cooked for her and taste all of the love you put into it. She would, anyway, if you could be with her

does anyone else feel as though they're actually grieving for their waifu? I don't feel like she and I are dating and having fun, I just feel as if she died and I'm left here dusting off her portraits and waiting to die myself.

Sometimes I consider that the only reason I shouldn't kill myself is because she would be against it.

In the end I know that no matter what I do she'll never be real except maybe as a self-inflicted disease that I'd have to force myself to imagine. There is nobody out there like her. At most I can imagine that there might be someone who looks like her physically but even then what want is to talk to her and maybe hold hands.

Consider the concept of an abstract in the first place. Information is just that because of our ability to perceive and process it, regardless of its origin. An idea is the same from any medium and, in the same way and for the same reason, so is an identity and person. The missing dynamic here is interaction and, when you really get down to it, we can't bring our waifus to our universe simply because we don't understand them well enough!

>>100641283
It's simple logic, anon. To recreate a system you must be know everything that you need to create. So, as a system, an individual must be known entirely to be recreated. You can make a number of assumptions and still be ok, so long as the system works. For the case of a waifu, this means more trial and error with fantasy, exploring your impression of her to determine who she is exactly.

At this point, you have to choose how to recreate her. Since humans have been making cave drawings they've recreated their thoughts as images. We moved onto sculptures and books then movies and video games. Some day, we'll have systems capable of emulating a human mind and we will call these AI. To emulate a mind, though, you need to know it. Maybe 50 years from now you'll remember your waifu, grab a copy of A.I.shiteru, and recreate perfectly what you never thought would exist. By then, with the advances of medical technology, you'll live a couple hundred years longer with printed organs and borrowed time. You'll see affordable robotics capable of housing an AI that can operate a humanoid robot. You'll see your waifu. She'll greet you. "I waited for you, anon."

>>100641574
Unrelated but your waifu has a lovely voice. I can still hear it in my head; it's so soothing. When I think about that voice and her personality I think that she would be happy with someone who cares about her like you do.

>>100641782
It's a wonderful though, but I don't think it would be the same. I guess I'm just speaking for myself, but I don't think I need anything physical. I know where my feelings lie, and like I said >>100634971, that's what I value the most. Seeing her makes me happy, even though she's not really there.I can always dream of the real deal, but even what I have now is more than I could ever ask for.

>>100642764
Eh, I've never had the time to try that one. Right now I'm trying to improve my Vicky 2 playing experience by creating an enhanced American political system, with a faux Senate and House populated by female anime characters.

>>100642681
Yes. Money is mostly the reason why we don't have AI already. Modern technology can emulate the human mind just fine, we just don't understand the human mind that well. If we take some liberties with it, though, we could see something good in a short period.

I find it difficult to imagine these things since she already has a love interest and I can't think of tearing her away from someone she already loves or self inserting myself as her love interest because it just wouldn't feel right. In the brief time I do imagine it, I think of just a void piece of space within the 2nd dimension with just me and her.

>>100632570
Her living in the real world.>>100634479
Usually playing games while she sits on my lap, and I also cuddle with her.>>100635334
She appeared in my dreams which increased the feelings for her.>>100636975
I want her to stay young but at the same time it feels weird becauseI could be her dad and in a few years her grandpa because I age and she doesn't.>>100639739
This, all those board games are for 2 players minimum but it's hard for her to play when she is just a plush doll.

I imagine me in her universe, and she falls for me because Satsuki lost her way. My goals would be the exact opposite of Satsuki's, with her's being building an empire and taking over schools, and me destroying all schools that fight with life fibers and taking out monopoly such as the Revocs Corporation, for I believe that they will take over the world and through their greed and lust for power destroy earth. I would play the seemingly crazy, distraught character, and my kamui would be sown in life fibers via tattoos, given to me by experimentation of the Revocs Corporation, and eventually i would go crazy because of the mesh of power and my dark past (insert typical parent death/me going after the killers anime past with hints of originality such me creating my own organization), which subsequently mesh together to create dark powers that take over me at the 3rd stage of my Kamui. She would take interest in me after being repeatedly rejected by Satsuki, and therefore through her efforts of investigating the unknown power, she learns about the world and the battle between Revoc and Nudest Beach, and also learns that her constant campaign to win Satsuki made her blind to the world, and therefore leaves and seeks me and my group, as she wants time to clear her head and does not want to be on either side of the coin of Revoc and Nudest Beach. My group would be called Resurrection, and our goal would be to resurrect the old ways of the world, such as fighting with normal means and clothing not dominating lives, as well as monopoly. After speaking with her, she would get the impression that i am crazy, and therefore she wants to go back to the way she was. She would accuse me of "wanting to destroy everything", and I would say "I wont destroy this world, only theirs." This makes her stay, and through her time she begins to find out more about me and my personality, and also how achievement Isn't always everything. She eventually falls for me..
continuing if wanted....

>>100632570
I'm weird,
I just imagine hanging out and doing mundane things with Ryuuko if I ever do.
Not things elaborate shit, just shit like driving and being like>I wonder if Ryuuko was real and sitting here what I would talk about with her
And that's about as far as it goes.
Mainly because she seems like a decent girl who isn't a bitch at all, and in the end that's really all I want in a girl.

Hell fucking Panty would make a better girlfriend than most women these days, at least she's upfront about being a total bitch.

>>100644926>I could never see other characters the same way again since she found me
Yeah, I can't look at my past crushes the same way either. Like, I still think they're great in their own way but I never think of them anymore. I have lost all special feelings towards them since she found me. Funny how that works.
